Would your school or place of work benefit from cloud computing? Identify at least two cloud computing vendors and research their features and costs. Then, examine one element of your chosen network’s infrastructure and apply it to cloud computing. Would it be feasible to migrate to the cloud? Would it be cost effective? Why or why not?
Hello professor and class,
My current place of work has 7 total employees and two locations. We use Google drive to complete our
end of day reports, one drive to store backups of important files for free, and Excel Spreadsheets for financial reporting all done through our Google (Gmail) account. Our company could benefit from using a few additional services from a cloud computing vendor since it would cut down on infrastructure costs, the data would be safe from threats and easily accessible offline, and there is flexibility for once we expand. I conducted research on two cloud computing vendors that I feel my company could work with:
1.
Amazon Web Service- There is a free version my company could try and see how it works and the paid version is not very pricey if needed. Amazon Web Services is easy to use, allows businesses to create applications, and is economical for small and large businesses.
2.
Microsoft Azure-This vendor offers simple scaling, data recovery and creating applications. There are different service levels that allow you to drop features that are not needed to save the
company money. “This cloud server's versatility in coding languages, geographies, and service levels is another noteworthy advantage (Anand, 2023).” To sum it up, cloud computing is beneficial for my company, it would be cost effective to utilize some cloud features, and it would be feasible to migrate to the cloud.
